- The Great American Rat Experiment
-
- The following is an account of an interesting three-part
experiment comparing the effects of raw foods versus cooked foods
with rats. This account is taken from a book titled "Goldot",
by Lewis E. Cook, Jr. and Junko Yasui:
-
- "It has been found that a group of rats were fed
diet of raw vegetables, fruits, nuts and whole grains from birth
grew into completely healthy specimens and never suffered from any
disease. They were never ill. They grew rapidly, but never became
fat, mated with enthusiasm and had healthy offspring. They were always
gently affectionate and playful and lived in perfect harmony with
each other. Upon reach an old age, equivalent to 80 years in humans,
these rats were put to death and autopsied. At that advanced age
their organs, glands, tissues all body processes appeared to be in
perfect condition without any sign of aging or deterioration.
-
- "A companion group of rats we fed a diet comparable
to that of the average American and included white bread, cooked
foods, meats, milk, salt, soft drinks, candies, cakes, vitamins and
other supplements, medicines for their ails, etc. During their lifetime
these rats became fat and, from the earliest age, contracted most
of the diseases of modern American society including colds, fever,
pneumonia, poor vision, cataracts, heart disease, arthritis, cancer
and many more.
-
- "Most of this group died prematurely at early ages
but during their lifetime most of them were vicious, snarling beasts,
fighting with one another stealing one another's food and attempting
to kill each other. They had to be kept apart to prevent total destruction
of the entire group. Their offspring were all sick and exhibited
the same general characteristics as there parents.
-
- "As this group of rats died one by one or in epidemics
or various diseases, autopsies were performed revealing extensive
degenerative conditions in every part of their bodies. All organs,
glands and tissues were affected, as were the skin, hair, blood and
nervous system. They were all truly total physical and nervous wrecks.
The same condition existed in the few, which survived full duration
of the experiment.
-
- "A third companion group of rats was fed the same
diet as the second group to an age equivalent to about 40 years in
humans. They displayed the same general symptoms of the second group
being sick and vicious so that they had to be separated to
prevent them from killing each other and stealing one another food.
-
- "At the end of this initial period all rats in this
group were placed on a strict fast, with o water to drink for a period
of several days. Then they received the natural (raw) diet o first
group of rats. This diet was alternated with periods of fast and
within one mouth behavioral pattern had changed completely so that
the now docile, affectionate, playful creatures were once again able
to live together in a harmonious society and from this point on never
suffered any illness.
-
- "Several rates put to death and autopsied at the
end of the initial period revealing the same general deterioration
as that exhibited in the second group of rats. However, the remaining
rats lived out the full duration of the experiment, to the equivalent
of 80 years in humans, and when they were topside there were no signs
of aging or deterioration or disease - just as those in the first
group. The obvious disease, degeneration and deterioration of body
parts evident in their first half of life had been completely reversed
and excellent health restored.
-
- "The same principles apply to human life as there
is only one TRUTH! Thus it may be concluded that sick people may
be restored to health simply by choosing the proper diet, fasting
observing the other rules of health. There is no mystery. There is
no external force that will help all healing being accomplished
within the body in accordance with the laws of organic life and health."
